Benny Goodman (1909-1986) was an American clarinetist, composer, and bandleader considered one of the pioneers of modern jazz. Born in Chicago to a Jewish family, Goodman began playing the clarinet at the age of seven. After playing in several local orchestras, in 1934 he formed his famous orchestra, which quickly became a landmark for swing jazz. Goodman was one of the first artists to bring jazz to the mainstream public, thanks to his sold-out concerts and popular recordings. His music was characterized by a combination of rhythmic swing, catchy melodies, and virtuoso improvisations. Among Goodman's most representative pieces are "Sing, Sing, Sing", "Let's Dance" and "Stompin' at the Savoy".
